Albert Pujols, who is in my opinion the best all-around player in baseball right now, hasn't wasted any time getting his numbers up this season.
After just two games Pujols is already 5 for 8 with two home runs and four RBI's. He's still due for one more at-bat in tonight's game against the Reds so those numbers could easily go up.
Pujols is by far the most consistent hitter in all of baseball. There's no hitter I want stepping up to make a big hit more than Pujols. He's not just a home run hitter like Mark McGwire was. He just knows how to put the ball in the field of play and score runs.
Most importantly, he's done it cleanly as far as we know.
I like the Cardinals to easily win the NL Central this season and Pujols is the main reason why. However, this team has a very solid starting rotation as well.
The National League overall will be a very strong league this year. Oh yeah, and don't be surprised if Pujols wins another NL MVP and makes a run at baseball's first triple crown in over 30 years.
